The "job" of the military

[Agmen of Eladesor]

I have both an LN indy and an LPI indy character. From an RP perspective, my LPI guy is out there trying to patrol the lanes in whichever house he's been 'assigned' to work that day - and I do move around. Sometimes I meet people, sometimes I don't. I do try to RP with the bad guys to just 'move along' - you don't want me to not get my donuts later, right? Sometimes they listen - most often they just attack because I'm a police officer.

Navy - I'm busy doing search patrols for Rheinlanders. I've stopped some of you looking for Rheinland contraband, and for the ubiquitous Rhienland transport ship. You call that there's a pirate in California while I'm in New York - I'm on a military patrol, doing my job. If my orders allowed me to go there, I would. But those are things for the civilian government and police to handle - I need to watch for Rheinland battleships and raids. How much trouble do you think I would get in if I'm supposed to be sitting in Texas and an enemy combat patrol comes into our space - and I instead am up in Colorado chasing after a Xeno that harrassed a civilian.

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.
